Peter Thornton's new translation of Francesco Petrarch’s Canzoniere, also known as 'Scattered Rhymes,' revitalizes these 14th-century poems for a modern audience. Spanning themes of love, grief, spirituality, and nature, this collection, which reflects on the poet's enduring affection for Laura, is presented in direct, rhymed English verse. Thornton's edition also offers valuable commentary, enhancing the reader's understanding of both the poems and the context of 14th-century religion and Christendom.
